Even after ten years have passed since the solitary swordsman Samanosuke led an uprising against an army of demon warriors, Nobunaga’s terrible crusade is still wreaking havoc over feudal Japan. When the young warrior Jubei finally returns to his village, he discovers that the henchmen of Nobunaga have leveled what was once a thriving community. Jubei sets out on an epic and mystical quest, intent on exacting his vengeance and learning more about his ultimate destiny.
Just like Samanoske before him, Jubei can strengthen his weapons and armor by absorbing the souls of monsters that he has defeated. You can conquer demons in one of two ways: attacking them until their health bar is empty or attacking them precisely just before they contact Jubei. This will cause Jubei to perform an Issen attack; a one-hit kill move that destroys everything in its path. During the first half of the game, Jubei case treasures and then give them to the commons he meets to be with them. The game’s plot will diverge depending on who Jubei befriends.
